[Geoserver-devel] GSIP 107 Extend Release Schedule

GeoServer GeoServer Developer
1

GSIP is up:

In writing this up I prioritised the stable release. While we still alternate between stable and maintenance the change over to a new release every 6 months results in a small gap.

If you are interested I also wrote up this change in Andrea’s google doc.

every 6 months results in a small gap.

I believe it's reasonable, and helps developer keep focused on the new
release and
avoid a triple release in the month.
Why is the 2.6 series not following the same pattern as the 2.5 one though?
(the pause in 2.5 is after 2.5.2, in 2.6 after 2.6.3)

Think that is how it works out with a 6 month cycle, depends if stable lines up with a beta or an rc1

I take that back, apparently I cannot count. Page is updated.

Given that this has been in discussion, and effects what we release this month, I would encourage steering committee members to vote.

it has taken me some time to get my head around this. Certainly makes sense for embedded users. The recommendation for production servers then would be hang in on old version. By time it is discontinued, then new version will be at .3.

Dear All,
I am +1 with a minor thing to report.

To me, taking into account the feedback I have gathered, it would have
looked better to add a 2.4.8 right after 2.5.3 and same goes for 2.5.8
with 2.6.3.
I assume that this does not need to be decided now and that if we feel
like doing one additional release that is ok.

As I said, this is a minor thing that would not need more discussion.
I believe that in X months with X >> 1 we might want to check if what
we have done is fine or if we need
to improve things again.

Simone Giannecchini

+1. Thanks Jody.

And thanks to Andrea and Alessio, who IIRC originated the idea. Perhaps add a link to Andrea's Google Doc?

Kind regards,
Ben.

Simone,

the release process is certainly open to discussion and will no doubt benefit from review in a few months.

Kind regards,
Ben.

I would not worry, we can always make more releases if there is a volunteer in position to do so. Your idea would result in three stable branches in play concurrently making it a bit hard for people to track.

Note there is a matching proposal on the GeoTools side that can use a +1.
